Using the GNSS data and tilt-meter data of Boeun (BOEN) and Goesan (GSAN) GNSS stations, we have calculated the differential distance vector variation with the calculation time span set to 1 hour and 3 hour and differential tilt vector variation along time and derived an indicator of similarity between the two variations along time. The similarity such calculated is rather lower than high. But as the existence of a circular type movement of the antenna's phase center's location due to the tilt's variation of the antenna tower because of the sunlight's diurnal change is certain, we recommend to take such diurnal variation of antenna's location into consideration when the correction error in DGNSS or the measured data at reference stations in VRS (Virtual Reference System) is broadcast.

In order to precisely determine the vertical displacements of CORS antenna phase centers caused by their replacement, intensive research has been carried out in this paper throughout processing GPS measurements made before and after the events. After applying the estimated displacement in the data processing, results show that coordinate repeatability of the vertical component is able to be 7.9mm on average. Comparing with results (e.g., 23.5mm) without applying the displacement, it was possible to conclude that these accuracies are significantly improved, which is equivalent to those before the event of the replacement.

In this paper we propose an opposite-sign phase method to implement a nulling antenna using genetic algorithm. In the opposite-sign phase method the phase value of each antenna element in the linear phased array antenna is symmetrical to the center of the array and the sign of the phases of the neighboring elements is alternating. Compared to the conventional genetic algorithm our genetic algorithm shows the capability of synthesizing nulls faster and sharper.

In this paper, we propose an optimization method for obtaining beam curve which minimize the phase errors of Rotman lens. This method is based on idea that 3 path lengths from a beam port through equal phase points, which consist of the center point of array antenna and two points placed symmetrically or asymmetrically along array antenna, to the corresponding phase front are equal. According to this method, the optimal locations of beam ports can be obtained directly by finding each equal phase point set on array antenna to minimize the phase errors for each beam direction. Simulation results show that the proposed method is the most optimal and effective method for determining the beam curve of Rotman lens with low phase errors.

We propose optimization method of two-inductor loaded small loop antennas using simple genetic algorithm. To optimize the loop antennas for the RFID and the mobile phone band, we changed positions and values of the two inductors in the loop antenna. Visual basic was used to make genetic algorithm and to calculate fitness values by controlling the commercial EM software. The bandwidth of the optimized RFID loop antenna is 10 MHz at the center frequency of 922 MHz and that of the mobile phone antenna are 84 MHz and 266 MHz at the center frequency of 948 MHz(GSM band) and 1.81 GHz(DCS band), respectively.

A 8$\times$4 microstrip antenna array is designed at 5.3 GHz and its characteristics are investigated with respect to the application in dual polarized synthetic aperture radars. The design is focused on the achievement of a wide bandwidth, a high polarization purity, a low loss, a good isolation and some mechanical requirements suitable for the application. The antenna is fed by a -3 dB tapered feed network, and is composed of dual polarized SSFIP (Strip-Slot-Foam-Inverted Patch) elements with honeycomb and shielding plane. Simulation results for the antenna array are presented and compared with measurements. It is observed that the antenna shows a bandwidth of 80 MHz, a polarization isolation better than 20 dB, an isolation of 40 dB, and good mechanical characteristics.

본 논문에서는 GB-SAR의 간섭기법을 이용하여 물체의 변위 측정에 대한 정밀도를 조사하였으며, 또한 대기보정을 거친 후 정밀도의 변화에 대해서 확인하였다. GB-SAR 시스템에서 안테나는 중심주파수 5.3 GHz, 밴드 폭 600 MHz인 C밴드 안테나를 사용하였고, 신호의 증폭을 위해 마이크로파 앰프를, 다편파 측정 및 분석을 위하여 스위치를 장착하였다. 레일의 총 길이는 5 m, 이동간격은 5 cm, 최대 관측 거리는 약 200 m이다. 변위 측정에 사용된 이동산란체는 trihedral corner reflector로서, 시스템 전방 약 160 m에 위치하며 시스템 방향으로 1 mm에서 40 mm 전진시켰다. 이동산란체의 실제 변위와 GB-SAR 시스템의 위상변화로 관측된 변위의 상관계수는 편파에 따라 0.9995에서 0.9996으로 나타났다. 마이크로파의 전파과정에서 거리와 습도에 따른 지연 효과를 고려하기 위하여 대기보정식을 구하였으며, 이를 이동산란체의 위상에 적용한 결과 상관계수는 0.9997에서 0.9999의 값을 나타냈고 40 mm 이동시 오차가 1 mm 이내를 나타냄으로서 대기보정을 통한 결과가 더 높은 정밀도를 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithms using GPS code pseudo-range measurements were developed and their accuracy was validated for the purpose of implementing them on a portable device. The group delay, relativistic effect, and satellite-antenna phase center offset models were applied as fundamental corrections for PPP. GPS satellite orbit and clock offsets were taken from the International GNSS Service official products which were interpolated using the best available algorithms. Tropospheric and ionospheric delays were obtained by applying mapping functions to the outputs from scientific GPS data processing software and Global Ionosphere Maps, respectively. When the developed algorithms were tested for four days of data, the horizontal and vertical positioning accuracies were 0.8-1.6 and 1.6-2.2 meters, respectively. This level of performance is comparable to that of Differential GPS, and further improvements and fine-tuning of this suite of PPP algorithms and its implementation at a portable device should be utilized in a variety of surveying and Location-Based Service applications.

For safety navigation of ships at sea, ships monitor their location obtained from Global Positioning Satellite System (GNSS). In this study, we computed near-real-time positions of a ship at sea using GPS Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique and analyzed precision of the near-real-time positions. We conducted ship borne GPS observations in the south sea of Korea. To process the GPS data using PPP technique, GIPSY-OASIS (GPS Inferred Positioning System-Orbit Analysis and Simulation Software) developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was used. Antenna phase center variations, ocean tidal loading displacements, and azimuthal gradients of the atmosphere were corrected or estimated as standard procedures of high-precision GIPSY-OASIS data processing. As a result, the precisions of near-real-time positions was ~1cm.

SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) provides GNSS satellite orbit and clock corrections for positioning accuracy improvement of GNSS users. In this paper, the accuracy of SBAS satellite orbit and clock corrections were analyzed by comparing with the IGS(International GNSS Service) precise ephemeris. The GPS antenna phase center offsets and the P1-C1 bias are considered for the analysis. The correction data of the US WAAS and the Japanese MSAS were analyzed. The analysis results showed that the SBAS satellite orbit and clock corrections are highly correlated. The correction data accuracy depends on the SBAS ground network size and orbit trajectories.
